this patch extend the start and end address of initrd to be page aligned, so that we can free all memory including the un-page aligned head or tail page of initrd, if the start or end address of initrd are not page aligned, the page can't be freed by free_initrd_mem() function. Signed-off-by: Yalin Wang <redacted>Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> (as I said, if Russell doesn't have any objections please send the patch to his patch system)I now have an objection. The patches in the emails were properly formatted.
They were so close ;) I can see three patches but none of them exactly right: 8157/1 - wrong diff format 8159/1 - correct format, does not have my ack (you can take this one if you want) 8162/1 - got my ack this time but with the wrong diff format again Maybe a pull request is a better idea. -- Catalin
